DRUG DESCRIPTION

The Imovax Rabies Vaccine produced by Sanofi Pasteur SA
is a sterile, stable, freeze-dried suspension of rabies virus prepared from
strain PM-1503-3M obtained from the Wistar Institute, Philadelphia, PA.

The virus is harvested from infected human diploid cells,
MRC-5 strain, concentrated by ultrafiltration and is inactivated by
beta-propiolactone. One dose of reconstituted vaccine contains less than 100 mg
human albumin, less than 150 mcg neomycin sulfate and 20 mcg of phenol red indicator.
Beta-propiolactone, a residual component of the manufacturing process, is
present in less than 50 parts per million.

The finished, freeze-dried vaccine is provided for
intramuscular administration in a single dose vial containing no preservative.
After reconstitution, immediately administer the full 1.0 mL amount of vaccine.
If it cannot be administered promptly, discard.

The potency of one dose (1.0 mL) of Imovax Rabies vaccine
is equal to or greater than 2.5 international units of rabies antigen.

What are the possible side effects of rabies vaccine (Imovax Rabies)?

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

You should not receive a booster vaccine if you had a life threatening allergic reaction after the first shot.

Keep track of any and all side effects you have after receiving this vaccine. When you receive a booster dose, you will need to tell the doctor if the previous shot caused any side effects.

Becoming infected with rabies is much more dangerous to your health than receiving this vaccine....
